Potato Market Weakens
o ■ Press Association. —Copyright. Christchurch, Sept. 8
Each week records further weakening in the potato market, and to-day's price for prompt whites is down to 55s f.o.b. sacks in. The mid-week steamer took only a few hundred sacks for the north, but this small quantity failed to stimulate inquiry. More potatoes are now being offered the merchants who, however, have to fina a market for what they have already bought. After the strong position of the market earlier in the season as a result of export to South America the development in the market is very disappointing. Fowl feed is a little firmer, there being more inquiry. Good quality is worth to 3s 6d f.o.b. sacks extra. There is no improvement in either oats or chaff. The little of the former required in the north is being provided by cheaper quotations from the south.
